In Celtic mythology, gods and goddesses are sometimes depicted with torques, such as the god Cernunnos, who in various images wears a torque around his neck, while others hang from his antlers or are held in his hand, as seen on the Gundestrup Cauldron. Torques were not just accessories but carried profound significance as symbols of status and strength. The larger and heavier the torque, the greater the wearer’s standing and contribution to society. This impressive piece is a testament to respect, trust, and love, making it a meaningful gift.s.
